Description
Neutrino LC-CZ 15-300 Thermal Camera Module and Continuous Zoom Lens
The Neutrino IS is an OEM camera module designed for integration into a higher level system.
The Neutrino IS series combines Teledyne FLIR’s world-class mid-wavelength infrared (MWIR) OEM camera modules and continuous zoom (CZ) lenses. The IS series offers high–performance imaging solutions with various FPA resolutions and CZ zoom/FOV ranges.
Neutrino IS lowers development and manufacturing risk and improves time-to-market. Cutting-edge HOT FPAs, long life and low vibration linear coolers, common camera interfaces, and fully athermalised lenses make for the best-in-class solution.
The Neutrino camera module and lens are designed for each other, providing optimal performance not achievable when buying and integrating cameras and lenses from multiple sources.
The Teledyne FLIR Neutrino IS series is simply the best technical solution available. With nearly off-the-shelf delivery, industry-leading two-year warranty, real price competitiveness, and well-known product support and product reliability, it offers the lowest risk solution.

- Integrated camera module and lens solutions shorten development and production lead times
Affordable Total Package Revolutionising MWIR Imaging
Teledyne FLIR is the first integrated solutions provider capable of supplying high-performance MWIR camera modules and continuous zoom optic assemblies.
FLIR accelerates time to market for MWIR imaging platform developers with vertically integrated, size-weight-and-power (SWaP) optimised camera modules and zoom optics. Developers can work with a single solutions provider to produce all of the subsystems necessary for a complete platform.
This includes the IR detector, zoom optics, electronics, and packaging results are shorter design cycles, streamlined procurement, increased reliability, and reduced end-item lead time.
Neutrino Software GUI
The Neutrino Demo Application or graphical user interface (GUI) allows developers to quickly start streaming video from the Neutrino LC or the Neutrino SX8. The GUI provides access to functions available within the SDK and uses the x64 Windows 10 program.
It connects to the camera module via an accessory board and provides access to a number of image appearances, NUC calibration, and system settings to help with development. Example interfaces include and are not limited to CMOS and HDMI video mode, LVDS/Camera Link, NUC threshold, NUC gain, image stats controls, and FFC controls.
The interface also provides access to a wide range of diagnostic features such as diagnostic control and the status panel useful for quick troubleshooting. It can load and save configuration files to and from the Neutrino camera module.
